Football is a game of survival. Only the strongest survive they say. The best move on as the others stay at home and wish they were the best. This year the Raiders became one of those teams the others wished to be. Though the record of 5-5 doesn’t show it, the Raiders proved to be one of the dominating teams in 3A football. With a schedule consisting of powerhouse 4A teams such as Holton, Hiawatha, Sabetha, and Wamego, the Raiders learned to play with the best. This became critical as te Raiders swept past District play. In Bi-Districts, the Raiders played a hard fought game, but were handed their last loss of the season. The Raiders used their determination, dedication, and desire to climb back into the ranks of the elite in 3A football. They proved that the Raiders have gone beyond the rest.
This year the Raiders were led by many seniors. Which were Jeff, Eric Alex, David, Bryce , Kellen, Kurt, Andrew, Shelton, Barry, Tom, Justin, and Derek. These seniors helped to bring back the tradition that the Raiders are used too.
